Upcoming Performances

Sat. Sept. 10: The Black Feathers – Jaeger & Reid open
The Black Feathers return to the Old Sloop! Ray Hughes and Sian Chandler write songs that are both modern and ancient, weaving in traditional influences so thoroughly that they become the warp and weft of fresh creations, and they sing their songs gloriously.

Fri. Sept. 30: Pamela Means and The Power of the Protest Song
Pamela Means is a singer-songwriter, a jazz musician, an activist, and an educator. Armed with razor wit poetry and irresistible charm, Pamela Means’ “stark, defiant songs” (New York Times Magazine) set the status quo and the stage afire.

Fri. Oct. 28: Alisa Amador – Haley Sabella opens
2022 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner Alisa Amador brings her trio to the Old Sloop.
